Reginald Young

Sherrick Brumfield

Video surveillance showed Sherrick Brumfield, 22, and Reginald Young, 27, were in the center's recreation yard when they pulled away some of the fence and escaped on foot, officials said.

The sheriff's office notified other law enforcement agencies such as the New Orleans Police Department and the Orleans Parish district attorney's office.

Brumfield was awaiting trial for a second-degree battery charge. Young was awaiting trial on charges of armed robbery with a firearm, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon, second-degree kidnapping and a parole violation.

Anyone with information about the inmates' location is asked to call the sheriff's office at 504.827.8505.
